They only don't get stuck if you have the big pto driven winch on the front. Adds more counterbalance to give the front end more traction
That and to prove the theory of better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

NO quick stops

A quick stop and you'll have a headache! What happened to your troop racks?

with 5:83 gear ratio top speed is 45, it does not make quick stops.

my 2 woodhaulers for now. Recently got a 92 F350 460 5spd with 4:10's and just put new mud tires on it a few days ago. Milled some 2" Poplar sideboards for it, just gotta get 'em built

Watch that long back axle when loaded like that, Been there, done that, have the mangled remains to prove it.

I use the trailer and my old chev with a cattle rack when I get wood in the mountains, but I need a place to put the split wood while I finish splitting the rest so that is why it is stacked so high. It would be dumb to drive on the roads like that.
I plan on making a slide in rack and swapping in a 4bt cummins then use it to get the wood.

That will make a real wood hauler.

Make sure you put a set of Helitool disc brakes on your list, too.

04 Tacoma, full linex jacket.

 

[rokspydr]

Small load this am.

 

[Alaskat]

Mine is more of a skidder and it powers the splitter. Around September it becomes a moose buggy. Unfortunately its a convertible now after a endo incident.

 

[Coalsmoke]

Nice rigs you guys. How much did that full line-x job cost?

 

[trailmaker]

To have the bed, body, rack and transfer tank done was 2800$. Not cheap but I think it's worth it for a farm truck that I'll be keeping forever. The way I use this truck as a wood hauler/farm truck, it gets few miles put on it but the body takes tons of abuse. Without the Line-x the body would disintegrate long before the motor died.

 

[Coalsmoke]

Interesting approach. You're right its not cheap, but I can certainly see how the cost can be justified over 20 years.
